Cheyenne Van Leeuwen

Attorney

Cheyenne Van Leeuwen is a family law attorney who joined Marshall & Taylor in April of 2024. Though she was born and raised in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Cheyenne has considered the Raleigh/Durham area home since she left Fayetteville after high school. Cheyenne’s mother works in the IT field at Fayetteville Technical Community College (FTCC), and her father is a retired Army veteran. She attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from 2011 to 2015, earning her B.A. in English, with a second major in Political Science. Instead of taking a gap year, Cheyenne immediately went on to attend law school at North Carolina Central University School of Law, graduating in 2018 and taking the last NC-specific Bar Examination that summer.

Cheyenne’s passion has always been family law, but it took her a few years after beginning her career to get to it. Cheyenne has handled various issues within the realm of family law, including: domestic violence, child custody, child support, spousal support, step-parent adoptions, separation agreements, prenuptial agreements, and asset division. Drawing from her own personal experience during childhood, Cheyenne is passionate about helping her clients through what can be perceived as a highly emotional/stressful process. She emphasizes a transparent communication approach with her clients while maintaining a high level of empathy.

In addition to her work in the office, Cheyenne is a member of the North Carolina Bar Association (NCBA), Tenth Judicial District Bar, and Wake County Bar Association (WCBA). She also serves as co-chair of the NCBA Social Committee and is a member of the WCBA Public Service Committee. Some of her favorite events include Lunch with a Lawyer and Camp Confidence, both of which are put on annually by the WCBA. Cheyenne currently lives in Raleigh with her Army Reservist boyfriend, Adam. When she’s not working, you can find her at CrossFit, reading with her book club, spending time with her friends and family, or furiously searching the internet for a new recipe to try her hand at.
